Price joins panel that helps Republicans get elected to the Texas House

No one in Austin expects the GOP to keep its 102-48 super majority in the Texas House of Representatives but Amarillo’s Rep. Four Price has been appointed to a campaign committee whose mission is to help elect as many House Republicans as possible.

Price, along with fellow freshman Lyle Larson of San Antonio, has been appointed to the Texas Republican Representatives Campaign Committee, a nine-member group dedicated exclusively to assisting Republican campaigns for House seats.

“I am pleased to welcome representatives Larson and Price to our board,” Kerrville’s Rep. Harvey Hilderbran, chairman of the organization, said in a statement.

“Their dedication to conservative values and responsible fiscal policy, along with their strong work ethic, will be of great help as we work to re-elect the many Republicans who made our last legislative session one of the most successful in our state’s history,” Hilderbran said

Price, who is facing former Potter County Democratic Party Chairman Abel Bosquez in the Nov. 6 general election, said he is pleased “to have the opportunity to help candidates who want to serve Texas.”

Price is the only legislator from the Texas Panhandle or the South Plains to serve on the panel.
